Got out of the shop for a ride yesterday on the new setup. I'm very happy with how these turned out. I know many have said that they don't like how the 17" handle or look, but for me it's great. No worries, the setup is stable on the freeway and handle the twisties very well. I now have a set of true tubeless road tires that I can swap on in about 30-45 mins. Great for commuting when I get back from the trails or when I hit the track.

I'm running the Shinko Podium F006 and R006 tires. $170 for the set. I started the morning w/ 0 miles on them on cool and wet roads. Perfect for scrubbing in new tires. No issues, they stuck well and handle very nice, Running PSI is about 36 front and rear. At this price I can have alot of fun w/ the throttle hand and not feel to bad. Sure makes for an odd looking touring bike, but function over fashion...correct.

Had a little issue w/ the FMF pipes I've got on the 950. I'm running a 2-1 collector and I guess the added pressure pumped through these has taken it's toll.

This one has about 35,000 miles on it, never been rebuilt, and half of those miles have been run w/ the 2-1. I swapped on the other one and I'll see if that gets me to 75,000.

Center baffle rattles, I guess high RPMS on the track for extended time added to this.

Trying to push it's way out the end.

I still want a Spark Arrested silencer that is USF approved. I figure these are $300 each or less on sale. Anyone have any input on how other silencers in this price range are holding up in the 2-1 setup? I'd like something a little more free flowing, yet still not too loud.
